arghton 6,694 Posted September 17, 2021 Damn, finally! He was already "dying" when the Political Frailty thread was made in 2005 (mentioned in the first post) and probably lived his last year(s) surrounded by a medical team. Would be interesting to know what the actual death cause was, what organ went first Edit: Cardiac arrest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Book 3,551 Posted September 18, 2021 Even if his death doesn't affect me, I'm also happy about the 8th hit for the DL. And I hope @Gooseberry Crumble is right: After the ebb comes the flood. It would be necessary. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's far too sensible an idea for the Committee! He'll more than likely be replaced by another healthy nonagenarian like Lionel Blair. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katyusha 120 Posted September 18, 2021 I honestly assumed he died a while ago, given the last news I saw about the guy was years ago and he seemed to be on death's door then. Admittedly don't know enough about his politics to see what kind of cultural impact his death will have, but could be interesting to see in the coming days. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friedbutty 41 Posted September 18, 2021 The longest DL gap in 10 years has finally closed. Which if you see the gap between Betty Ford and that M*A*S*H actor, it's exactly the same to the day. And just like this year, 2011 was a failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
